The Rant

A former co-worker coined the phrase when I offered to let her listen to one of my sermons on CD. She said, "Sure, I'll listen to Tom rant about Jesus." At first it sounded funny, but the more I thought about it the more it seemed to fit. That's what we, as preachers, pretty much do. We rant about Jesus. In 1 Corinthians 2:2 the Apostle Paul says, "For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified." That's it. Jesus. Who He is, and what He did, and what it means for us. That's my job, or calling, or anointing. To preach Christ. Jesus is in every book of the Bible. The entire volume speaks of Him. If you don't see Jesus, you're looking at it wrong.

So that's what I'm going to continue to do in this forum: Rant about Jesus.

My hope is to Rant every night by 9:00 pm, so check daily for new blogs.

"And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: we shall reign on the earth"...

What you call something is what it is. What you believe is what manifests in your life. That's why it's so important to understand that the Holy Spirit--our love receptor--is the Spirit of Sonship. The Holy Spirit is what allows us to call out, "Abba, Father." The Holy Spirit is what allows us to...

"As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me" (John 6:57). Being adopted, or placed as a Son, means living by the Father. And I think it's important that we understand the difference between living FOR the Father, and living BY the...

The Holy Spirit--the love receptor, the Spirit of Sonship--is what allows us to cry out, "Abba, Father." The Holy Spirit is what leads and guides us into all truth--the truth that the Father loveth the Son and hath given all things into His hands--by testifying of Jesus. Testifying of our true...

Daddy-o part 2

It's interesting to me that when Jesus came to the earth to show us who God is He came as a beloved Son. And He showed us a loving heavenly Father. That's always struck me as important. Because God IS love. And, apparently, the best way for us to understand that love is in the form of that...

Daddy-o part 1

I'm calling this Rant series "Daddy-o" because I tried to get Logan to call me that one time and he said, "You mean, 'Daddy'." That's who I am to him. Daddy. And I gotta tell you, that term kind of melts my heart. Because it's so... intimate. To me it kind of perfectly encapsulates our entire...

As He Is part 5

As He is, so are we in this world. What's true about Jesus is true about us. That's what He came to show us; not what we could be if we tried really hard, but what we truly are. He came to show us what God looks like. And what He showed us was a man who was filled with the Holy Spirit. A man...

Our key verse for this Rant series is 1 John 4:17, "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world." Today I want to focus on that phrase, "Herein is our love made perfect." And this is what I want to say about it:...

As He Is part 3

Ok. Boldness in the day of jugdment. A boldness that comes from our total and complete identification with Jesus. Let me work this for a minute. First things first: Judgment day was 2,000 years ago on the cross. But it's also every day. We don't judge... but we excute the judgment that God passed...

As He Is part 2

04/17/2015 13:13

As He is, so are we in this world. Jesus said it like this, "I am my Father are one" (John 10:30). There is no difference and no separation. Jesus lives in us, and He lives through us, and He lives as us. It's not "Jesus AND me." It's "Jesus AS me." I can't live His life, only He can do that. But...
